I'm very surprised by this happening with gdm3 too, I'd probably need
more details to be able to reproduce it.  In your environment, does

xprop -root | grep SPI

show an AT_SPI_BUS variable?  Are at-spi-bus-launcher and
at-spi2-registryd running under your identity?  I guess the at-spi2-core
package is installed? (you didn't say it got removed).

I agree.  I'm however wondering how much time it could take me to manage
to understand the Qt code which is blocking like this.
